Chapter 41 “Buy a box and return the beads”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Chi with a smile and said slowly: "I should know the truth. Ziyue's skill in putting a hat on others is comparable to Xiao Qing."

Wei Chi had a huge sweat and said with a silly smile on his face: "Your Majesty is wise and will not avenge your ministers."

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and said, "When the Medical College was established, Ziyue asked the people who were in charge to build such a student dormitory. The student canteen and food and accommodation were all within the college. The college solved it. Why do we still need the same subsidies as the Imperial College?"

Wei Chi said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the subsidy for the Imperial College is not only for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also for books, pens, ink, paper and ink. Our medical school also has these requirements. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are basic. Although pens, ink, paper and ink are not as expensive as Imperial College, it is also quite a lot. There are also medical equipment costs and medicinal materials needed in practice. In fact, it is only more than the subsidy required by the Imperial College, but it is not less than that required by the Imperial College. In line with the style of thrift and simplicity, I only require the same as the Imperial College. If it is not enough, I will find a way to do it myself and cannot invest blindly in running schools, and I will also have to produce some output."

"What is output?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.

Wei Chi said: "It's very interesting to know Fang Xiang. In addition to teaching medical skills, our medical school also teaches auxiliary skills such as foot baths, medicinal baths, massages, and pharmaceutical preparations. Those who do research and study should be willing to devote themselves to create the best environment for students, professors and doctors, so that everyone can strive for excellence and can take the clinic after graduation. This requires a lot of practical experience to accumulate. So, I have a plan here. Your Majesty, please take a look, and ask Fang Xiang and other adults to help you take a look."

Wei Chi took out the plan that had been prepared long ago and presented it to His Majesty Li Er, and there were three to Fang Xuanling and others to read. This was what Xie Jiu proposed. Since there were corrupt scholars who had gained status and talked about it, they would generate income and solve the problem by themselves. Wei Chi agreed deeply, and the two of them wrote a plan together. This plan is not unusual in modern times, it is a model of adding scientific research to universities, and universities sell scientific research results and receive funds for continued research.

His Majesty Li Er took the plan and just glanced at it, he exclaimed in surprise and said, "Ziyue, is this the word you wrote? It has made a lot of progress, no, no, it is not written, but it seems to be printed. Wei Ziyue, you are a sloppy man, you have to use a carved piece of writing a piece of melody. What a waste, you should be beaten!"

Wei Chi was stunned and quickly said, "Your Majesty, please see clearly. This is not a woodblock printing, but a movable type printing from my printing workshop."

After His Majesty Li Er mentioned that Wei Chi said this, Fang Xuanling and others also discovered the differences. Instead of busy reading the plan, they studied the words "spoken". By the way, there are many wealthy families who have things related to papermaking workshops, printing workshops, etc., pen, ink, paper, ink, paper, and ink, and the four treasures of the study. People think this is a matter of elegance. So Wei Chi didn't hide it from it, and blatantly said his workshop.

Wei Chi's plan was all Wang Xizhi's regular script, and it was printed in a row. The font standard was standard, and every stroke was stroked, showing the style of Wang's calligraphy. This was the result of Yasau bag. When carving movable characters, craftsmen were asked to carve them according to Wang Xizhi's font. For example, today, the servants followed the preferences of His Majesty Li Er and all followed Wang Xizhi. Then, our Wei Mansion also followed the trend. The movable characters printed in movable characters were all Wang's characters, which was obsessed with it!

His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others gathered together to study Wei Chi's spurious songs. Of course, it was not the content, but the printed font. This made Wei Chi quite confused. This should be considered as buying a box and returning the beads? It's moldy! It's too moldy!

Wei Chi felt it was necessary to remind him: "Your Majesty, sirs, isn't it too late to study my plan before reading it?"

His Majesty Li Er threw a fierce look over, slapped Wei Chi on the shoulder, and slapped his tongue and gasped. His Majesty Li Er ordered very directly: "Let's talk about this movable type printing first."

Wei Chi resisted the urge to rub his shoulders and smiled uneasyly: "Your Majesty, aren't you saying that my handwriting cannot be seen? Now that I have been promoted, if there is no progress at all, not only Your Majesty dislikes me, but I have no shame to see others, but I am too lazy to practice calligraphy, so I took advantage of this method. Hehe, don't laugh at me."

As he said that, he mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of movable type printing. Wei Chi said: "Volatile type printing has its advantages, that is, it is convenient and fast to print books with all text, and it can be combined freely and used multiple times. In terms of material saving, it has one advantage. movable type printing also has its disadvantages, that is, it cannot print pictures. Woodblock printing can print pictures, tables, etc. The disadvantage of woodblock printing is that it takes too long. If a piece of woodblock printing, you can't carve other things after printing a book. This is the disadvantage of woodblock printing. My printing workshop has both methods. When printing, choose according to your needs. Uh... My commentary is the printing of movable type. I am lazy and ashamed."

Kong Yingda grabbed Wei Chi with a little excitement and said, "It's true that as Zi Yue said, when printing books in the future, you just need to rearrange them and you can print them quickly?"

Wei Chi said: "That's right. The movable piece is ready-made, basically according to Shuowen Jiezi. My craftsmen carved and fired it for a long time, and now they are successful."

Wei Chi had only heard of movable type printing technology and did not know how to operate it. He just found a skilled printing craftsman and told them the concepts and ideas, and handed them over to experiment and production. It took two years to finally be successful in the experiment and put into production.

Kong Yingda seemed to be a little confused, and she looked yearning and imagined, murmured: "In the future, she can print countless "The Analects of Confucius", countless "Shuowen Jiezi", countless..."

As Kong Yingda talked to himself, His Majesty Li Er and Fang Xuanling and others on the side also lit up their eyes. His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Chi with bright eyes, and saw that the servant was covered in cold sweat. Even Xiao Yu, who had just quarreled with Wei Chi, was relieved and became excited with everyone.

Nowadays, printing a book is a time-consuming and laborious thing. First of all, it takes a long time to carve the plate. It is better to have thinner books, like longer history books. If you want to print, it will be a long battle. Wei Chi sometimes thought about whether the classical Chinese language used in ancient times was also for the convenience of printing, and was trying to reduce the number of words?! The mystery of history is unknown.

"Wei Chi!"

"I'm here."

"I want to go to your printing workshop."

"Yes, it is the honor of your Majesty to come."

As soon as His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all expressed that they would go and see with His Majesty Li Er, and Wei Chi hurriedly agreed.

After saying that, several people were still studying Wei Chi's printed melody. Wei Chi's sweat was entangled for a long time and a weak reminder: "Your Majesty, my masters, what is your plan, what is your majesty's will, what are your suggestions, are you..."

Everyone showed their sudden "ah" and pressed their curiosity about movable type printing, and tried their best to concentrate on watching Wei Chi's splashing. After reading it, everyone's expressions were strange.

Wei Chi's proposal is very simple. To merge the clinic in Wei's mansion into the medical school and become an affiliated hospital of the medical school. On the one hand, it can provide students with a clinic that accumulates experience, and on the other hand, it can also generate income for the medical school. Teachers and students in the Department of Pharmacy can also conduct research and develop in the direction of researching finished drugs. After researching the finished products, they can sell them to pharmaceutical factories. In short, try their best to solve the insufficient funding problem by themselves.

Just after reading it, Xiao Yu said, "Your Majesty, I object!"

Wei Chi rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are against it. Then you are responsible for raising enough funds. As long as the funds are enough, I will take this plan back immediately and pretend that it has never been written!"

Xiao Yu shook his sleeves and said coldly: "You...! The stinky and stinky doctors have any virtues to speak of?"

Wei Chi wondered why this was related to virtue?!

Wei Chi said: "Mr. Xiao, the students' food, clothing, housing and transportation are solved by the subsidies given by the court. The imperial court can provide the teaching aids, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, but what should I do if the medicinal materials and medical equipment are provided by the court? Is it also provided by the imperial court? How much can the Ministry of Revenue allocate to the Medical College every year?"

Tang Jian calculated for a while and said, "If it is decided today, everything is in trouble. Although the treasury has a surplus, not many can only be allocated to the medical school. It can be calculated that the money for subsidies, equipment, and medicinal materials... If it can be solved by the medical school itself, I think it will be a good thing."

Tang Jian was once impacted by Xie Jiu's modern accounting and economic knowledge, and his head was relatively flexible. Unlike Xiao Yu, his head was still in the Stone Age, so he was so hard that he had to turn... and there was still a revolutionary journey of thousands of miles.

"Is this the Tang Qing family agreeing with Ziyue's proposal?" His Majesty Li Er pondered. Tang Jian said: "Your Majesty, I agree. Follow Ziyue's plan. After the medical school gradually develops, maybe not only will the User Department allocate silver, but also the Ministry of Revenue can increase silver."

Wei Chi looked at Tang Jian in amazement, and had the urge to open his head to see. He was too sinister. He hadn't opened yet, so he was planning to increase the income of the treasury in the future! It's really... the disciples of the church starved the master to death. If he had known, he wouldn't let Xie Jiu take the so-called economics course to them. He was depressed.

Tang Jian's words made everyone think, and Old Man Xiao Yu still expressed his opposition as usual, saying: "How can academic land be related to money and money!"

Wei Chi said: "Mr. Xiao, this is a cycle process, right? Students have developed good results, improved their skills, and not talked about knowledge, but can also give the school and generate income for themselves. With funds, they can invest in it to improve the lives of teachers and students, learn conditions, and continue to do better. More research. This is a virtuous cycle, which is different from merchants who are blindly pursuing profits. This is for a better learning environment, better faculty, better skills, knowledge, and not pursuing interests. It is for the development of medicine and good measures to reduce the burden on the country. The state cultivates doctors to create welfare for all people in the world. It is Your Majesty's wise decision. How can we create burdens for Your Majesty and the country? As long as it is not related to interests, how will it affect the morality of teachers and students? Could it be that Master Xiao has a better way to solve the problem of funding gap?"

Xiao Yu was suffocated and said softly: "I don't have it."

Wei Chi secretly compared the word V in his heart, smiling as if he was still calm, celebrating his little victory. He silently recited twice "Don't be happy with things, nor do he be sad with himself", and turned to His Majesty Li Er and his ministers who were thinking about him, waiting for their statement.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I think this method is good. Just like Zi Yue said, this is a virtuous cycle and can be adopted."

Wei Zheng also said: "I will discuss it."

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, if a scholar is not worried about food and clothing, all conditions are perfect, and he can concentrate on improving his skills, it is only a matter of time. I think it is feasible. Ziyue, if your method can be implemented as well, it would be great. At that time, the Imperial College has enough funds, and the students will be able to focus on their studies."

Hey, this old man Kong is really brave. He dares to adopt Wei Chi’s advice in places like the Imperial College. It’s really... It’s impossible to admire him. Compared with Xiao Yu, look at Mr. Kong, how is the realm of this person so far apart!

Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "The situation of Imperial College is different from our medical school. If this model is adopted, it needs to be adjusted. In addition, I don't know whether the professors, doctors, and students in Imperial College are willing. It's hard to say. Why not wait until our medical school is feasible and then talk about it after the facts are presented."

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "Zi Yue's words are reasonable."

After everyone discussed it, except for the old man Xiao Yu who has been firmly expressing his opposition, His Majesty Li Er and others agreed with Wei Chi's opinion. Now the medical school is going to carry out a pilot project. If it is feasible and it will not have any bad impact on the teachers and students of the medical school, it will be officially established.

Wei Chi was very satisfied with the result and immediately agreed.

The purpose of entering the palace today was basically achieved. The effect of movable type printing technology was also good after it was thrown out. You can make the next plan. Wei Chi showed a silent smile, thinking about how to celebrate with Xie Jiu when he went home. After the celebration, the two of them would consider the second plan.

After the discussion, the old man Xiao Yu glared at Wei Chi with anger, knelt down with a "bang" and said, "Your Majesty, the old man is old and has poor energy, and his philosophy is different from Lord Wei. As a Confucian disciple, he is unwilling to be with people full of money and is unwilling to be involved in the affairs of corruption. The old man requests to resign from the position of Medical Secretary, please let Your Majesty agree!"
